It certainly does seem that most of the performance improvements made by HTTP-NG could also be made in HTTP-TOS, with a simple modification to allow multiple objects to be retrieved/posted over a single TCP/IP connection. Are we really willing to switch to something totally different and incompatible, just to eke that last 10% speed improvement? I'm skeptical. -- Eric W.
